Most helpful review The Blessing

  • Have you ever wondered what it would be like?

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    To bring your baby home, to have a normal life? Well, this movie shows what it's really like in the real world. No one ever tells you how really hard it's going to be to bring that tiny bundle of joy home. How overwelming it can be. For those of you who have suffered postnatal depression, you will relate to this. For those of you who have not, this will be an eye opener for you.

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    Transition from pregnancy into censure instead of support.

    How was your labour? Your labour was normal.

    How is your bonding going? Your bonding is normal.

    How do you feed the baby? Your baby is losing weight!

    Starting with family members, through intrusive health visitor and own inadequacy turning into desperation, young mother escapes to find blessing in peace.

    Great drama and well acted. A serious subject of post-natal depression, which is a reality for many. This film never gets too heavy, highly recommended.
